Pros

Really great benefits, PTO, and pay. Truly, they pay you well. In litigation, in particular, you will earn it for sure. I loved working with lawyers and staff who truly excelled at what they do. I also enjoyed working on cases with lawyers in other offices. Every office works a little differently, but the one I worked fostered a team approach. I was technically assigned several lawyers to work for, but the entire group worked as a team, which meant we could all step in at a moment's notice and work on each other's cases. There was no competition among the staff - we didn't have time for that and do our jobs well at the same time. The best peers I have ever worked with. I was treated extremely well by lawyers, peers, and management alike.

Cons

If you don't enjoy a large firm environment, it may be hard for you. I think the "hardest" part of my job here was working with areas of the company in different time zones (for example, being on the West Coast and needing something at 3:00 from someone on the East Coast), but they really did try their best to make that work as smoothly as possible.

Pros

The benefits are pretty good and they keep increasing.

Cons

Talk of mental health in the firm is just a facade.
